Hot water through RODI unit

OOPS I acciedently ran hot water through my RODI unit.Don't worry i didn't use the water.I flushed the unit and the membrane with cold water for about an hour just wondering if the filters and resin are ok to use.

Hot water depletes the di resin in a hurry. What's the tds at? That will tell you if your resin has been exhausted.

I did that once, tds was still 0 so I continued using the filters and resin for a couple more months when it started getting tds reading. I probably shaved a few months off the life the filters and resin.. Still using that membrane.

"IF" I remember correctly it's a NO NO for the membrane.
